Efficient and wavelength-tunable second-harmonic generation towards the green gap

Kavli Affiliate: Kerry Vahala | Summary:Achieving compact and efficient visible laser sources is crucial for a wide range of applications. However traditional semiconductor laser technology faces difficulties in producing high-brightness green light, leaving a green gap in wavelength coverage. Second-harmonic generation (SHG) offers a promising alternative by converting near-infrared sources to visible wavelengths with high […]

The Discriminant Power of Bubble Wall Velocities: Gravitational Waves and Electroweak Baryogenesis

Kavli Affiliate: Marcela Carena | Summary:A precise determination of the bubble wall velocity $v_w$ is crucial for making accurate predictions of the baryon asymmetry and gravitational wave (GW) signals in models of electroweak baryogenesis (EWBG). Working in the local thermal equilibrium approximation, we exploit entropy conservation to present efficient algorithms for computing $v_w$, significantly streamlining […]

Long-term stable nonlinear evolutions of ultracompact black-hole mimickers

Kavli Affiliate: Ulrich Sperhake | Summary:We study the stability of ultracompact boson stars admitting light rings combining a perturbative analysis with 3+1 numerical-relativity simulations with and without symmetry assumptions. We observe excellent agreement between all perturbative and numerical results which uniformly support the hypothesis that this family of black-hole mimickers is separated into stable and […]

Operational experience and performance of the Silicon Vertex Detector after the first long shutdown of Belle II

Kavli Affiliate: T. Higuchi | First 5 Authors: K. Ravindran, K. Adamczyk, H. Aihara, S. Bacher, S. Bahinipati | Summary: In 2024, the Belle II experiment resumed data taking after the Long Shutdown 1, which was required to install a two-layer pixel detector and upgrade accelerator components. We describe the challenges of this shutdown and […]

Measurement of the Parity-Violating Asymmetry in the N to $Δ$ Transition at Low $Q^2$

Kavli Affiliate: A. C. Davis | Summary:We report the measurement of the parity-violating asymmetry in the N to $Δ$ transition via the $e^- + p rightarrow e^- + Δ^+$ reaction at two different kinematic points with low four-momentum transfer Q$^2$. Measurements were made with incident electron beam energies of 0.877 and 1.16 GeV, corresponding to […]

Premature supermassive black hole mergers in cosmological simulations of structure formation

Kavli Affiliate: Debora Sijacki | First 5 Authors: Stephanie Buttigieg, Debora Sijacki, Christopher J. Moore, Martin A. Bourne, | Summary: The co-evolution of massive black holes (BHs) and their host galaxies is well-established within the hierarchical galaxy formation paradigm. Large-scale cosmological simulations are an ideal tool to study the repeated BH mergers, accretion and feedback […]

Thermodynamics and Holographic RG Flow in 3D C-metric

Kavli Affiliate: Li Xin Li |Summary:In this paper, we investigate the microscopic derivation of the entropy and the holographic RG flow in 3D C-metric. We first discuss the case of a sector in BTZ (Banados-Teitelboim-Zanelli) black hole. By rescaling the Newton’s constant we recover the area law of entropy of this sector by microstate counting.
